Description
Handwritten letter from John Butler Yeats to Ruth Hart writing of his impressions of the American people and his time spent with Mr Keogh [Judge Martin Jerome Keogh]. Yeats discusses the cultural differences between Americans, the English and the Irish people, and goes on to write that Hart would be proud of the Irish in New York.
